Beyonce dismissed rumors of poor ticket sales to her ‘On The Run 2’ world tour by posting a blurred video of people singing off-key in a hallway at Hampden Park National Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland on Sunday.
If Beyonce’s goal was to prove to her critics that she can still pack stadiums, she failed miserably. Many followers asked why the video was so blurred. Others noted that the video was altered to add more people toward the back (a common cinema trick).
We can even see the smudges where the video was altered.
Beyonce was warned not to book large stadiums rather than smaller arenas for her tour because she didn’t have any new music to support such a big tour.
But sources say her massive ego got in the way. She wouldn’t allow her promoter to book smaller arenas because that would be a downgrade for her.
So Beyonce is forced to stage stunts to fill more stadium seats.
Last week, promoters announced Beyonce and JAY-Z were offering free tickets to her UK concerts for random acts of kindness toward others.
When that free promo failed to boost ticket sales, Beyonce and JAY-Z discounted ticket prices to just $39 for their Cardiff, Wales opener.
The few professional photographers were warned not to take any photos of the half-empty stadium where the upper decks are completely empty.
Then the couple leaked partially nude photos online — further tarnishing Beyonce’s carefully cultivated public image.
Beyonce proves to the world how petty she has become with every post. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures.
Do better, Beyonce.
